Also Report it (https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/index.cfm) lol before it fails, we already know it will if you don't pull the fuse or cut the brown wired.

OP, read the thread in my signature

I did see these threads, and I meant to ask about it but forgot. So when the car is off, the steering wheel locks. When I push the start button, it unlocks. So in theory, I want to pull this fuse WHEN THE CAR IS ON....correct? My logic behind this line of thinking is if I pull the fuse while the car is off, and the steering wheel is LOCKED, it will remain locked, because it cannot send the signal to unlock it without the fuse.

I also have a question regarding Nissan's acknowledgement of this issue? I assume that because there are so many people with the issue, and so many write ups on how to fix it, that Nissan doesn't have a factory recall for this issue? Any reason why??

I'm excited for you because the Z is a fun car to drive and be ready for double takes, thumbs ups, random people taking photos, and guys who want to mess around and try to race you.

I come from a long line of head turning cars, for good and bad reasons.

My last GTI was a 360hp K04 turbo monster. Built mostly by myself, except for software, and a few odds and ends.
Car before that was an 05 SRT-4 (Neon) with a Stage 3 kit, running roughly 410ish hp.

My hobbie is building cars. Not racing them, not tracking them, in fact, I drive terribly. But my passion is building cars, so I can't wait to get my hands on this 370.

Thanks everyone for the help!!!
